摘要:
A process to purify and classify a dispersion containing stabilized particles having counterions and ions as well as free species is disclosed. The solution may comprise an aqueous media, a solvent media, or a combination of both and can include more than one type of aqueous and/or solvent solutions. The process includes at least the steps, in any order, of substantially removing the particles having sizes above about 1 micron, preferably above 0.5 micron; substantially removing the free species; and exchanging at least a portion of the counterions that are a part of the stabilized particles. The process disclosed is especially useful in purifying dispersions where the ionic stabilized colloidal particles are carbon black having attached organic groups comprising at least one ionic group, or at least one ionizable group, or mixtures thereof.

A system includes a subscriber event transmission interface and an enterprise data warehouse. The subscriber event transmission interface is configured to collect first video-on-demand asset metadata from a first video head-end office. The enterprise data warehouse is in communication with the subscriber event transmission interface. The enterprise data warehouse is configured to store a list of a video-on-demand assets deployed to the video head-end office based on the first video-on-demand asset metadata.

Components of a chemical processing system are disclosed. In particular, a chemical processing system is disclosed which includes a chemical mixing or reacting zone, an inlet to the zone, an outlet to the zone, and a vacuum or fluid flow source located downstream of the outlet. The chemical processing system further includes a device to control the amount of vacuum or fluid flow through the zone. Also disclosed is a continuous feeder system having a first loss-in-weight and a second loss-in-weight feeder and a device for measuring a lower limit of feed in each feeder. There is also a device to activate the second feeder when the lower limit is obtained in the first feeder and a device to deactivate the first feeder when the lower limit is detected in the first feeder. A sample port assembly is also disclosed for obtaining a sample of material flowing through a processing system. The sample port assembly includes a port in the assembly and a sample cup holder adapted to be moved in the port to obtain a sample of material without substantially affecting the fluid pressure or flow within the system. The components of the chemical processing system can be used in processes to make carbon black having attached organic groups.

Systems and methods of monitoring blackout events are provided. A particular method includes receiving a server blackout event associated with a scheduled blackout of a first media service. The method also includes receiving at least one client blackout event from at least one set top box (STB) affected by the scheduled blackout. For example, the server blackout event and the client blackout event(s) may be received at a subscriber event transmission interface (SETI). The method further includes storing the server blackout event and the client blackout event(s) at a data warehouse.

Method, apparatus, and computer readable medium for managing an electronic greeting in a telecommunication system are described. In some examples, a call is received via the telecommunication system. Descriptions of pre-recorded electronic content are played in the call. A selection of one or more items of the pre-recorded electronic content is received. An electronic greeting is formed from the one or more items of the pre-recorded electronic content. A selection of one or more intended recipients is received. The electronic greeting is scheduled to be sent towards the one or more intended recipients via the telecommunication system.
摘要:
An improved method to produce a dough sheet having improved uniform properties in a high-speed manufacturing environment. In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, the dough sheeting system comprises improved control of dough particles in the sheeter nip, and improved control of dough properties across the width of the dough sheet including, but not limited to, uniform thickness, uniform work input, uniform moisture content, uniform emulsifier content, and uniform dry ingredient content. In a preferred embodiment, the improvements described herein enable the high-speed production of stackable chip products. Improved mixing and control of process conditions in dry and wet upstream mixers enable such production.
摘要:
A switch assembly (20) comprising of a base portion (22), a flexible pad (24), a paddle (26), and at least one button (28). The flexible pad (24) has a first dome (44) and a second dome (46). The paddle (26) is slidably attached to the base portion (22) and has a first end portion (64) and a second end portion (66). The first end portion (64) of the paddle (26) is positioned adjacent to the first dome (44) of the flexible pad (24). The second end portion (66) of the paddle (26) is positioned adjacent to the second dome (46) of the flexible pad (24). The button (28) is slidably attached to the base portion (22) and is capable of contacting the paddle (26). The first dome (44) of the flexible pad (24) is capable of collapsing when a user applies a first force (FA) to the button (28). The second dome (46) of the flexible pad (24) is capable of collapsing when the user applies a second force (FB) to the button (28), the second force (FB) being greater in value than the first force (FA). The switch assembly (20) may further include a white light emitting diode (80) for providing a colored light for the switch assembly (20) through the use of the flexible pad (24).
